There are a quite a few tutorials out there with printable patterns for you to follow, so I'm not really going to go in depth here. I will admit that I was too lazy to hook up the printer to use one of those aforementioned tutorials, so I decided to wing it like I usually do.

The diagram doesn't show this well, but make sure you either sew a little overlap in the center front or don't cut through it completely. You don't want 2 separate flopping pieces of collar. Also, you can go ahead and cut through the center back. This is where you'll attach a snap / clasp / hook / button / whatever you prefer to allow you to get in and out of your collar.

If you use something that doesn't fray and has structure (i.e. felt, vinyl, leather, etc.), you're done! I used regular white cotton fabric so cut out 2 duplicate collar pieces, sewed the wrong sides together, flipped the right sides out, and sewed a snap at the back for a closure.

I like this look on you a lot - feminine, fun, and a touch girly. I could never pull off something like this because I'd just look like a baby (my round face does me no favors). I prefer a traditional collar because I'm a lot more likely to land a job that way :D
